Going for a long weekender and was curious what food people take to cook?

I have a camping grill and all the normal cooking equipment.

I usually take Super Noodles or a Pot Noodle but fancy something different and thought I get your ideas 😋

I often take a jalfrezi or.madras with rice from sainsburys
If you heat it real slow in the non stick saucepan it's come out lovely. Often only 3 quid.

I also take bananas and bio youghurysnfor breakfast. I generally can't be arsed with a fry up as mostly 24 hours. But bit will take bacon or sausages and some rolls if going longer.

Also a heinz veg soup and ready made Huel live in the van in case I stay longer or have a disaster

The tins of curry/chilli are handy and taste OK. With boil in the bag rice.

Anything you'd eat at home. No need to go down the nasty pot noodle route just because you go fishing. Batch cook and freeze if you can't be bothered with prep on the bank. Curry, chilli, stew. Anything you like.

My food for 3 days from today are
chicken burgers and salad
Hot dogs
Sweet chill chicken & rice and Cajun grill steaks
Breakfast for 2 mornings
Porridge and fruit
Omelette
And a couple of cans of thatchers cider and some snacks
And maybe a few cheese & tomatoe toasties

Exactly. Chuck it in the pan with some water to reheat and bob's your uncle.

In reply to Post #1
Chicken Fajitas,fillet steak and chunky chips with garlic mushrooms are my two favourite on the bank

In reply to Post #1
Use the food in the order it will go off
Fish will go off quicker than chicken
Chicken will go off quicker than a steak
Etc

Thanks guys, got some real good ideas here to avoid the pot noodle route haha

Cheers guys.

bacon & eggs in a roll for breakfast (usually have a late breakfast so it half counts as lunch, then a steak and salad for dinner.

usually take a pack of of nut bars or nature valley bars or something and have one with a cup of tea here and there.

or reel in and nip up tesco if ive been lucky to have one and buy myself some croissants haha

In reply to Post #10
That's if Tesco has the stock after what's going on with them and a major supplier

I cook in bulk and chuck extra portions in the freezer. Usually sausage or bacon baps for brekkies, some sort of pastry for lunch, chicken and mushroom usually. Next weekends dinners will be Butter chicken Curry and Beef Mechado. Unless i take my Cadac and then it will be BBQ food.

M&S Stewed Steak,tin of potatoes,small tin of peas,or carrots.Very filling.Have that for one of my dinners on a lot of sessions.Half decent nutritionally and no "leisure sickness" (remember that in a thread) ?

In reply to Post #12
same here, i also take a rather large Ribeye steak for the first night, with fried onions and a fresh loaf of crusty bread

In reply to Post #14
Not done steak on my Cadac yet, given me a great idea!!

normally a ribeye from aldi, mushrooms onions and mcainnes microwave fries, they crisp up lovely in a pan.
second night normally is a tinned curry with boil in the bag rice, or ill make a stew with tinned stewwed steak and veg as mentioned below. lovely with some crusty bread.
dont bother with cooking breakfasts, just add water porridge and some fruit sees me through, lunch depends, liking those soba noodle pots, much more flavor than a pot noodle and better on the stomach as well.
ill pack the odd sleeve of biscuits or a large bag of crisps but normally they dont get eaten.

dont forget whatever you can reheat at home you can do on the bank, plus if taking a cool bag the frozen meals act as extra ice blocks.
use your imagination, i dunno about anyone else but i think cooked meals outside taste so much better.

In reply to Post #1
I nearly always do a proper meal every night, along with porridge for breakfast (with water as I'm cows milk intolerant and can't be bothered to buy goats milk as it's so much more expensive).

First night is quite frequently a ready home prepared meal, a ragu (bolognese) or chilli with pasta or rice.
Next night is cooked on the bank, a stir fry with pork or lamb, onions, mushrooms, garlic and peppers, a few Italian herbs, maybe some blue goats cheese stirred into cooked pasta.

Then we go for the rump steak, onions, mushrooms and sauté potatoes.

You can cook all that on a single ring stove.

Forgot to mention pre cooked corn on the cob yum yum just ate mine in the bank 3 of them along with 2 hot dogs & onions

In reply to Post #18
Barclays ?

In reply to Post #1
I get the Mrs to do extra chilly, curry etc and vacuumed seal them I then bung em in a boiling pot with boil In the bag rice for 20 minutes, which is as easy as can be and only a plate and fork to wash up. I have done a full roast in the cobb in the past but normally only when I have someone with me to wash up.
My son in law pre prepares toastys in cling film with all sorts of stuff in them and just does them in his toaster.

Wow these all sound great ideas. Realty putting my usual scran to shame lol

One time was on a week off and my fiancée had cooked mutton & rice the day before(her mom is from Barbados 🇧🇧 and took left overs with me and popped it in my pan the day after.

In reply to Post #21
go look at the ridgemonkey page, they (i think) have a recipe idea page)

but basically, you can cook anything on the bank these day

Look up bank side chefs on fb.

Sounds good. Cheers

In reply to Post #25
Will do, thanks

Anything but that Fink Food junk that is getting punted out. Feckin beggars belief that blokes pay their hard earned for that muck. 10 minute's in a supermarket doing a spot of shopping for healthy grub, save yourself s fortune. Would be intrigued to find the origin of where the food comes from. Especially the meat..

I could be the last to know lol
HOWEVER
just in case you dont know about it I went in Iceland`s on Tues (OAP get 10% off on tuesdays) mainly to pick up some home shopping Harry Ramsden cod ............and his chips are brilliant you can do them in the ridge monkey type toasters dont need oil

I saw what I thought would be great for my sandwich toaster on the bank Cathedral City just cheese toasties
and they had a multibuy 4 for £10 they do them in Cheese and Onion,BBQ Chicken and Cheese ,Cheese and Ham and Just Cheese
so as they are frozen they well keep well for a long weekend in my coolbag with a frozen bottle of water


PLEASE DONT BE A PLONKER AND BITCH ABOUT THE PRICE IF ITS TO RICH FOR YOU JUST SCROLL BY WE ARE NOT INTERESTED if you think its to expensive
this is just trying to help make suggestions for people that dont mind paying someone else to make them OK ?

for those that want to find out more

LINKY POO

Cathedral City just cheese toasties

Aren't the manufacturers of this processed ***** the same who've poisoned a river in Cornwall?

In reply to Post #29
They look Amazing. Cheers Gerry

In reply to Post #31
Even if they are I ain't stopping eating their cheese.

In reply to Post #33
That's the way to make the world a better place. F**k the river, you enjoy your ‘cheese'

In reply to Post #34
Oh behave FFS ?

do you seriously think that stopping buying their cheese it would make the any difference ?

the REAL truth is the serious fines they get stops it ((they were fined over £1.5m !! ))
a few hundred deluded tree hugging people stopping buying cheese wont make the slightest difference and you will never ever get the millions that buy it stopping

In reply to Post #35
I guess it's about taking personal responsibility for your own choices and what your moral compass tells you is right. I just thought it was a very odd comment from someone who supposedly calls themselves an angler. As for labelling people as ‘tree huggers' then if giving a sh*t about the state of the planet makes you one of those then is that such a bad thing?

In reply to Post #36
ALL this doom predicting makes me laugh

it reminds me At its peak in the nineteenth century 300,000 horses kept London moving and a panel of eminent scientist predicted that by 1960 London would be at least 3 feet deep in horse shyte

all these silly bstds glueing themselves to things makes me sick miss guided melodramatic mostly unwashed jobless ponces
anyway we are screwing up the thread

In reply to Post #37
Science has progressed somewhat since the 19th Century, however it seems apparent that a 19th Century mindset is still widespread.

"Melodramatic unwashed jobless ponces", really?

In reply to Post #37
The thing is people are fluid in their beliefs. Just because a person subscribes to something or has strong views on one particular subject doesn't mean they belong to a group of people and all those people believe the same thing. I don't glue myself to stuff (on purpose) and I work and I wash. What if you were fishing a big gravel pit full of beautiful carp and suddenly a motorway was going to be built right through the middle of it? If the other members were up in arms and protested the development would you get involved?


To the original post........eat what you eat at home

Pot noodles

You shouldn't be spending your pension on luxury items like that,you have got a new motor to save up for.

He's got some front

In reply to Post #42
So has Blackpool

I wouldn't eat Cathedral City or any other of their products after reading Wandle's posts. Very very minor for them, but it's worth doing whatever we can to protect out waterways.

Breakfast: Eggs benedict for breakfast on the first day and poached egg on toast on the second day.

Second Breakfast: A few snuffs of caviar accompanied by either champagne, port, or scotch. Both Days.

Lunch: Game stew on the first day (wood pigeon, pheasant, rabbit, partridge) and a fillet steak with homegrown vegetables and salad on the second day. A bottle of red wine.

Second Lunch: Same as second breakfast but without the options of champagne.

Dinner: Venison steaks on the first day and foie gras with scallops on the second day.

Second Dinner: Rich tea biscuits and a few cups of tea (specially imported blend of loose leaf tea from India - the rich tea biscuits are McVities).
